Where it all began

The stallion that started our breeding program off is the NZ warmblood stallion Belmont Golden Boy. He is still with us, serving a handful of mares a year, and still has a loyal group of fans from throughout the country who are always asking after him. Golden Boy is a 22 year old 15.3hh LICENCED Warmblood stallion. He is the only son of Ramzes II standing at stud in New Zealand. The Ramzes II line has proved over the last two decades to be one of the most successful lines in New Zealand, with numerous top class horses in all three Olympic disciplines.

He's a Special kind of Boy

Belmont Golden Boy has outstanding presence and paces - two virtues that saw him him excel in the dressage arena. He was graded Advanced (Prix St Georges / Intermediare I) for about four years before his retirement at age 17. He was fit, sound and happy when he retired from competition, and was at the top of his game - having just won the 2004 Advanced Horse of the Year title against the best in New Zealand. Golden Boy's temperament can only be described as exemplary. His good manners have allowed him to compete alongside mares with no problems - even in showing type classes. He also possesses a huge scopey jump and has won or been placed in all his Horse Trials starts.

Who's ya Daddy?

At present Golden Boy has sired about 60 progeny, and these range from foals to 14 year olds. His eldest son Kintyre proved to be a superstar. When he was a barely five years old he was the youngest horse at Pony Club Championships, representing the winning Waikato team. He jumped clear and recorded the fastest cross country round, and he'd only been broken in one year! Kintyre also has had many placings in dressage and show hunter disciplines. His best performance to date was coming third in the Two Star at the Puhinui 3DE, and he is now ADVANCED. He has since been exported to the USA. Belmont Oh Boy is another son excelling in eventing, and has won a six bar challenge clearing 1.60m - not bad when you are 15.3 hh! He has also gone to CCI 3* level in eventing. Another son, Global is Elementary level dressage and has won many classes already. All of Golden Boy's progeny are inheriting his standalone paces and lovely temperament. It is quite obvious his jumping ability is being passed on as well. Because he is a cross-bred Warmblood stallion he is suitable to bred to a variety of mares, be it pony, Warmblood, TB, or whatever. He will stamp all of these foals with paces, temperament and jump. Some of his competition successes have included:

3rd place at Brisbane CDI at Prix St George

Winner of the National Musical Leaderboard for 4 years running

Winner of the Vetpro Leaderboard for Advanced horses 3 years running

Winner of the St George Trophy for 1st year horses in PSG tests nationwide

Twice judged Supreme Champion Warmblood at the North Island All Breeds Show (In-Hand)
